It kind of reminds me of when my wife takes a wild guess on Jeopardy and answers correctley.
She was right but really didn’t know the answer.And anyone who is honest know that.
sorta like hussein obama knowing it is 2011 but writes 2008.
Oh, really? Her dad’s a history teacher and she know exactly what she wanted to TEACH to an ignorant public...She talked about the event in a way to hit on the points she wanted to make.....that the Brits were warned by Revere after he was captured that the alarm had been sent by the riders that night and the shots and bells they heard were the Colonists preparing to resist.....you can read Revere’s own words in his letter. Your smug comment is typical of someone short on facts but long on feelings. Get a clue, pal, before you mouth off.
What Mick said!
I wonder how I would come off if I was given a pop quiz on a variety of subjects every 30 seconds.
I wonder how any of us would come off, especially when it is possible to take something out of context and hold it up to ridicule.
Of course you TShaunK would be perfect, like everything you do and say, so I guess you can put yourself as the arbitrator on what we mortals should think or believe.
If you think Mrs Palin fumbled a question, by all means vote for the Democrat of your choice, we all know how that has worked out.
And you? You get them all right? Or don't you try?
She doesn't...she is usually RIGHT on target.
Meanwhile, Obama can say "57 States" and not have it be an international story for a week.
(Does this rise to the sin of Palin making a note on her hand which also was a major sensation?) Absolutely asinine.
Your comment reminds me of the students who got D’s on their test and justified their stupidity by saying those that got A’s were lucky
From watching the video it appears that she was greatly distracted by something else - I've mangled answers to simple questions when my attention is elsewhere.
I might have been inclined to agree but I went and looked at Sarah's bio. Her bio shows she was a communications major. I looked further and saw that sociology studies as well as psychology are the heart of a communication major. I then did a google search on Paul Revere and sociology.
It is amazing the amount of information regarding Paul Revere as it relates to sociology. With a quick scan, it seems that the sociological topics included studies on networking as well as studies on how the current well known tale differs from the documented historical tale.
Based on Sarah's major and that Paul Revere is a topic studied by sociologists, I have to conclude that it is more than likely Sarah was aware of the deeper history of Paul Revere and had likely given it much more thought about its communicative affect on the population at large.
your wife may be smarter than you think she is, as is Sarah Palin.
The interesting thing about Jeopardy is that it requires a fill-in answer (actually a question). It's not a multiple choice where you can guess that it's either A,B,C or D and have a 25% chance that you're right.
You have to have some knowledge of the subject in order to make a successful guess, otherwise you just stand there and draw a blank.
(nice guess on the spelling) One knows more than one thinks. The human mind is amazing. Always go with your first "guess" unless further reflection shows the guess is wrong based on something concrete.
And you know this how? How do you know she didn't read an account of the actual history including Revere's own statements when from the evidence, it sure looks like she has?
“And anyone who is honest know that.”
Hey T-bone. Your command of third-grade grammar is stupendous.
I took it as an off the cuff shorthand summary, by a person that knows her history, and assumes every one else does.
You might want to proofread your writing several times before declaring someone else's thinking deficient.
Does your wife know that you diss her in public behind her back?
No wonder you dislike Palin.
Cheers!
